Tasting Notes
In the past, this cuvĂ©e was known as âTraditionâ, a name chosen in the 1970âs by Pierreâs parents.
The name âLatitudeâ was chosen to characterise better this very round cuvĂ©e, with its rich, charming style.
It is made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes which all come from the same âlatitudeâ: the south of Vertus. A generous terroir and grapes picked fully ripe: the Latitude cuvĂ©e is the festive Champagne par excellence, which nonetheless retains the characteristic purity of the estateâs Champagnes.
This non-vintage cuvĂ©e contains 40% of wines coming from the estateâs perpetual reserve started in 2004.
« Based on the 2016 vintage and disgorged in December 2018, the latest release of Larmandier-Bernierâs NV Extra-Brut Blanc de Blancs Latitude bursts with a generous bouquet of yellow orchard fruit, peach, blanched almonds and white flowers thatâs less citrusy and stony than the corresponding Longitude. Full-bodied, broad and textural on the palate, itâs fleshy and enveloping, with ripe but racy acids and a muscular core of fruit, concluding with an expansive finish. The contrast between the Larmandierâs two non-vintage cuvĂ©es couldnât be more obvious.»
